Fast Windows PHP editor with SVN and FTP support? [closed]

Answer 1

As far as open source applciations, you can try Eclipse with the PDT(PHP Develoment Tools) plugin. I've found it works well.

If you're willing to pay a little, Zend Studio is a very nice editor, it is based on PDT and Eclipse, but has some nice commercial quality polishing.

I frequently use both these solutions, and would recommend them to anyone. Especially if you're already comfortable with Eclipse.

For SVN support, use the Subclipse plugin to eclipse. The SVN plugin with Aptana I found frustrating also. Zend Studio has a nice SVN wizard. The Subclipse plugin integrates well into Eclipse.

Answer 2

I use Activestate's Komodo IDE. It has good SVN integration and can open files from remote servers (including FTP). With a very large project it can get a little slow/clunky but it's general pretty fast.

Komodo IDE is a commerical product (~$300 USD), but ActiveState have a cut down open source version called Komodo Edit but I do not believe it has SVN support.

An alternative for FTP support is to use a a program like Fuse (OSX/Linux only) to mount a FTP server as a directory, I believe there are a couple of commercial Windows programs that offer similar features.

Answer 3

Notepad++ with FTP_synchronize and Subversion plugins.

And it's free.

Answer 4

While it is not free I can strongly recommend Ultra Edit:

The studio version has integrated SVN as well as ftp.

I like it mostly because the editor itself is very powerful.

Answer 5

I use Netbeans it has both sftp and ftp support with full featured subversion support (diff,merge,history etc). You can connect to remote machine through ssh inside the ide itself(like PuTTY).

Answer 6

Not sure if NetBeans has FTP support for transferring files to and from, but it has excellent Subversion support. I've come to like NetBeans very much, my last editor was the Zend Studio IDE.
